In Py3k, buffers won't be compatible with strings -- buffers will be about bytes, while strings will be about characters. Given that future I don't think we should mess with the semantics in 2.x; one change in the near(ish) future is enough of a transition. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
